Trusted Watering, Sprinkler & Drip Irrigation System Contractors in Medicine Hat, AB

Born and raised in Medicine Hat, Larson has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. Even in early childhood, he would be found setting up a makeshift shop and selling brownies, lemonade and candies to his schoolmates. In his late teens, he and a friend started a landscaping company and pitched it to the JMH & Co. Entrepreneurship Start-Up Program through the Medicine Hat College. He and his partner won the maximum award including a mentorship with local successful entrepreneurs. From then, the partnership fell through but Larson was given the opportunity to work in hospitality. He was offered the position of Director of Marketing and Sales for a hotel group, but his entrepreneurial spirit drove him back into Landscaping. He used his talents and experience with sales and marketing alongside his previous experience in landscaping, to develop a new landscape venture. With a limiting timeline of the Medicine Hat Sunshine Home and Garden show fast approaching, he developed, implemented and established the start of The Avara Group with Avara Landscaping in 2016. As winter approached, there was a need for commercial property care which formed the new branch, Avara Property Care in 2017. In 2018, he added on the Decks and Fencing branch of the Avara Group and just now in 2021 the addition of The Avara Garden Centre. Avara now operates across Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, with full commercial crews for Landscape construction, lawn care and snow removal.
